The statement assesses and evaluates the site and its context, to record the local character and circumstances. It provides a description of the proposals and explains the principals and concepts that have informed the design development. 2.0 Location 2.1 Context Rawtenstall is a town in the borough of Rossendale, Lancashire and lies in the centre of the Rossendale Valley. Manchester is located 15 miles to the south, with Preston 22 miles to the West. Historically the town, like many of the small Lancashire towns, was known for its Cotton Mills and later hosted various shoemaking factories. When these traditional manufacturing industries started to decline, so did Rawtenstall’s population. More recently, the town has undergone significant gentrification with investments in a new town square, local markets, new bars, high street shops and improved transport infrastructure. The proposed site (1 Bacup Road) has already been used as a Dental Practice for over 10 years, however this use ceased in July 2020 with the premises remaining vacant since. The adjoining property (2 Bury Road) is understood to historically been used as a locksmith, however it is unknown when the premises became vacant. Sun House 2-4 Little Peter Street, Knott Mill, Manchester, M15 4PS P: 0161 236 3650 E: [email protected] LOUNGE DENTAL SUITE, RAWTENSTALL: DESIGN & ACCESS STATEMENT MAY 2021 4.0 Design 4.1 Amount The use of the property at 1 Bacup Road will remain unchanged, along with the current access through the front door. The existing shopfront is thought to be in reasonable condition with works to this including decoration and any repair as required. The old retail/locksmith next door (2 Bury Road) is intended for use as an additional surgery and will be connected internally to the Dental Practice. As such, the shopfront requires upgrading to be brought back into use. 4.2 Layout As per the guidance in the Rossendale Shopfront Design Guidance, it is understood that both shopfronts are included in the town centre conservation area and visually contribute towards creating an attractive market town setting. The traditional design and shop windows will remain appropriate to the scale and layout of the host buildings and the streetscape as a whole. Any new glazing will be in timber frames and reflect traditional glazing patterns. Where possible, the steel pilasters and stall risers will be exposed and re-decorated. By restoring these, the vertical and horizontal subdivisions of the frontage can be retained and become a feature of the shopfront. The recessed entry door will be retained and either locked off or used as a fire escape. This ensures that the overall symmetry of the original shopfront remains. The existing fascia will be re-decorated with new signage at an appropriate scale. 4.3 Scale The design of the proposed shopfront to Bury Road reflects that of the neighbouring property and is in keeping with the scale, height and proportions of the host building. 4.4 Appearance of the Development With the exception of decoration and signage, the appearance of the shopfront at 1 Bacup Rd will remain unchanged. The shopfront of the adjoining property will be re-activated and more closely reflect its original appearance prior to it being boarded up. By doing so, both properties will be positively contributing to the traditional streetscape and assist in retaining the overall character of the conservation area.

It is proposed that the signage has trough lights which would be in keeping with the traditional design.

This Aligned Asset Management Plan for the Borough of Rossendale has been developed by the Borough and County Councils as part of our shared commitment to improving the way the two tier system of local government works in Lancashire and as the foundation for a developing partnership which will secure improvements in the way we manage our assets and ultimately improve the services we deliver to the communities we serve.

Location:,Stubbins Cemetery. Assessment: A full arboricultural survey report has been submitted with the application. The eight trees in question are in different stages of infection by Chalara and some are in worse health then others. All of them, however, are visibly dying back, dropping branches and only likely to deteriorate further. Given their locations in a public space and with some close to adjacent property, it is reasonable to allow their felling on safety grounds. Replacement planting will mitigate. Decision: Consent: Eight Ash – Fell. Conditions: 1. All work in accordance with BS 3998 (2010) Tree work recommendations in the interests of health and amenity of adjacent trees and of safety. 2. That within the first available planting season after the trees hereby approved have been felled, eight replacement 10 – 12 cms standard Tilia cordata (Lime) shall be planted in or as close as reasonably possible to the location of the original trees. If within a period of five years from the date of planting, these trees (or any other tree planted in replacement for them) is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies, another tree(s) of the same size and species shall be planted at the same place, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.

One of the tasks of working in an information department of a voluntary organisation is to read through all the books and leaflets on fund raising. One book even called itself ‘the complete guide’ and mainly consisted of ideas for competitions, including races with people pushing caravans through muddy fields. There is no complete guide, but there are different and useful books (pages 71-72) and there are similar experienced people probably nearby. This book was originally a training course file for ethnic minority groups on funding, and would not be possible without the valuable work and contributions of all the following: Moiram Ali, Donna Denheim, Ravi Dhami, Ibrahim Jama, Hugh McWilliams and Shanti Waas. Thanks are also due to the many people listed inside who assisted in replying to letters and telephone calls with details of their work.
